Children being in car seats well into their elementary school years is a very different concept from when I was growing up. On the one hand, safety first! On the other hand, I was worried it would inhibit our ability to be adventurous. Even so, my borderline paranoia about car safety won out. As my oldest was ready to graduate out of her forward facing carseat I began exploring the options. Like every step in the car seat journey, I was overwhelmed by the options! Attending the JPMA Baby Show I was able to compare different brands and features. We finally found a seat that is a perfect fit. In addition to our booster with a high back we found Bubble Bum! Bubble Bum is the solution for those out of the ordinary situations. We are loving the combination of safety and adventure with Bubble Bum!
SAFETY FIRST: Bubble Bum is a backless booster seat designed for children aged between 4 – 11 years. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a backless booster seat is designed to boost the child’s height so the seat belt fits properly. It does not provide head and neck support. It is ideal for vehicles that have head rests. I was very apprehensive that some thing inflated would be both easy to use and safe, but BubbleBum is crash test approved and meets and exceeds safety regulations in the United States and European Union. These regulations entail both crash testing and materials testing. BubbleBum has also been awarded the Best BET Booster Award by the Insurance institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for four consecutive years.
ADVENTURE SECOND: We all find ourselves in situations where convenience and portability are essential. When you are on vacation, using rental cars, in a taxis, take a field trip, have a car pool or need to send your child with a grandparents or care giver in the event of an unexpected or occasional journey Bubble Bum has you covered! Bubble Bum has a valve to easily and quickly inflate a booster seat on the go. The clips on the side secure the seat belt to the booster. Bubble Bum comes in a convenient carrying case or can be laid flat in a suitcase. The Bubble Bum is deflated back to the lightweight and compact size for easy storage in between use.
